One of the few restaurants open past 9pm in Whitehorse. We had the bison burger with fries $26.50 and the dirty bowl (salmon salad bowl) $27.50. Both were great and hit the spot. I especially appreciate how it was a decent sized piece of salmon and the variety of vegetables and seeds. Fries were slightly burnt and salmon was a bit overcooked, but better over than under in my opinion. It's a typical bar vibe with hip darker lighting, wood tables, and leather booths. Service was friendly. We came quite late at 8:30pm and were seated right away. We'll be back! read more

Dirty Northern - Beer - Pubs Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

We came here to host a small gathering of 8 people. I was concerned that they only do walk in but there were enough tables for us. It's a small little bar with some big TVs - so nothing special. The service was a little slow, but once we settled and our server took our drink order things improved. The food came out quickly and she made sure we were all doing well. We ordered many cocktails (that were delicious) a variety of apps that were all good. I loved the bacon wrapped jalapeño! For my main, I had the steak and fries. The steak was a nice portion, cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The fries were freshly cut and were the perfect side. I was so impressed with the food - the quality and execution of the dishes was perfect. read more

Amazing ribs & Chicken wings! They were anything but stingy with their great BBQ sauce.

We've been here on another occasion and food was great, but this time was a total disappointment. My salad had avocado that was picked out of the garbage and the rest of the salad followed the same theme. My wife's Arctic Char was dry and tasteless. To add to the ambience, 2 very inebriated individuals were harassing the patrons without any intervention of staff. Because we had a very good experience last time, I'll assume this was just a bad night and not assign the dreaded 1. read more

Dirty Northern - Called Dirty Salad in Menu but should have been called Garbage Salad. - Pubs Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

Maybe it was my fault, I order something called everyday is Sunday. Its brisket. Sunday a family meal day, I should have expected plain with mashed potatoes and peas and this really was plain. It wasnt bad and the portion is big but yes it is plain jane. The vibe inside is cool though. Kind of "hip" and I was told locals love coming in for drinks. I can see why, I probably would as well. Service was average, I am guessing a couple new people. Price was good, it is worth a stop in while you are in Whitehorse read more

Traveling thru Whitehorse, looking for the Miner's Daughter but found the Dirty Northern first. Know the two are connected but good with the DN. Order the pepperoni and mushroom pizza. It was enough for two, sliced into 6 pieces. Thin crust, char to perfection. Just enough carbon for flavor, and not too much to call it ruined. Drank a Yukon and a Dirty Bastard something beers, both very good. read more

Great service, good menu, friendly people. Will definitely stop in again next time I am in Whitehorse. read more

Dirty Northern - Artic char - Pubs Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

We ate there 8/31. It was crowded so three of us sat at the bar. The bartender paid no attention to us- we waited for quite awhile to catch him and order. It took forever to get our drinks and our food order seemed to have been forgotten. When it finally came it was so disappointing. My daughter had the arctic char-covered in so many capers- it was so salty. The potatoes where underdone and the brussels were too salty. My chicken sandwich had a chunk of avocado that was hard as a rock, he kitchen should never have served it. My husband's was the same. Our food lacked any flavor. The bartender never came back to check on us or get us more drinks. A frustrating experience. The bartender should work in the back of the house-he obviously does not like working with customers. read more

We watched an NHL game here, and the environment was crazy as it was game six of the Stanley Cup finals. Our silver was very nice as she let us hold a couple extra seats for some members of our party who hadn't arrived yet. I got a bison burger here and I was really looking forward to eating a bison burger in Whitehorse so it definitely hit the spot. Great bar for food as well as drinks and a nice environment. read more

I was in Whitehorse for the evening. This place was suggested to our group as a place to go with "elevated" bar food. The prices were reasonable. $28 for a bottle of wine and $21 for a pizza that two of us could not finish. The pizza was delicious! It was not greasy at all. The mushrooms were tasty, the Gruyère smooth, and the jalapeño had just enough heat to add a great flavor. If you are in Whitehorse, you definitely need to check this place out! read more

My husband and I have been to Whitehorse for vacations several times and just loved the Dirty Northern. My first impressions; it was cozy, well decorated, spacious, clean and the entire staff was so nice. We went several times during our last visit because we absolutely loved the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food. I can't wait to go back and visit them again once it becomes safe to travel again witu COVID. I hope they remain open and safe. We really loved everything about the Dirty Northern and would love to visit again. Thank you for such a great experience. read more

I enjoyed this place. It was super busy and food was quite good. My fish was covered in a million fried capers which was a bit excessive but other than that it was great. There's a good selection of drinks but I just tried some local beer. Their burger was good too, super filling. read more

Dirty Northern - a plate of food and a glass of beer - Pubs Near Me - Whitehorse, Yukon

First and foremost - they were playing the game. So important. I love watching Canucks playoff hockey (although it was short lived, it was a fun ride while it lasted). Next most important thing was that the beer menu was extensive (though more BC and Ontario features than Yukon beers on tap) and their cocktails were delightful! Equally important was that they had ribs which I was craving after a 6 day canoe excursion in the wilderness. The tuna tataki was also very pleasing with little avocado slices interleaved between tuna slices. We ordered the dirty favourite pizza and it was delicious, I didn't finish my pizza at the restaurant but it was the most delightful bedtime snack. There was ample seating, the vibes were real, it had a modern north feel to it and some really kind man at the bar bought everyone in the place a round of drinks. Would definitely recommend going here to all of my foodie friends. Our server was very kind and attentive and made sure we were having a nice time at the Dirty Northern. read more

3.5 stars. Dirty Northern is a cool looking bar. Love the wooden tables and the light fixtures and saloon-like interior. Our server was attentive and she helped us make our final decision on which pizza to get. We ended up getting the #8, which was the mushroom, truffle oil, arugula, lemon, and jalapeno pizza. We also got the sticky ribs and some brews from Yukon Brewing Co that were on tap - the Yukon Gold and the Yukon Red. The beers were good - that's the good news. The food was just okay. My pizza was all right, but all the toppings had somehow huddled into the middle, so I was eating mostly crust/bread than pizza. But the center part with the mushrooms and truffle oil tasted good. Maybe if the toppings had been more evenly spread out. The ribs were a fail - the meat was too hard to chew - I wouldn't order those again. Overall, I think Dirty Northern may be a better bar than a food establishment. Love the interior design and the ambiance. I like that they are attempting the artisanal pizza thing. If I were ever back in Whitehorse, I would come back for the drinks, and perhaps order something different to munch on. read more

service / bartender was a complete ass and unprofessional. we really wanted to enjoy our experience but his conduct was so awful.

Really great atmosphere and food, the beer is great lots of local and beers from across Canada to try!

Food,service,and Ambience were all great.I recommend the Bison burger and the fries were amazing.

Great place to eat and watch TV. I've had the bison burger and bacon burger. Both very high end hamburgers. The new sound system is really nice as well. Forgot pictures of food. read more

- upbeat atmosphere, great for lunch, dinner, or beer on the patio - nice selection of pub-style foods, and creative pizzas in the evening - moderately priced, and well worth each penny - casual staff that make you feel right at home - had the burger for lunch, and a pizza for dinner (different days), both were amazingly good - you'll be delighted! read more

Did someone come and drop a dab of Portland + Seattle + Vancouver onto Whitehorse's main drag? They sure did, and they go by the name of Dirty Northern. Located in the old hull of what was once the dark-dank-sticky-Capital, Dirty Northern has brought a fresh take on a pub for Yukoners, and is showing the tourists (ahem, me) that Whitehorse knows how to do some serious urbanity. Folks from afar likely won't flinch at the $6.50 beers and $5.50 Caesars. Yukoners might be a little skittish at first, but if they're really going to complain, they can mosey on up to the Yukon Brewery and grab a growler for home instead. Flanked with tables made of reclaimed wood, a prohibition style mural covering the back wall and a bar stocked with booze -- think Yukon spirits and Yukon Brewery brewskies-- this place has only been opened a week and is already the talk of the town. It's no wonder. It feels like the owners literally came down to Vancouver and scooped up a little bit of our cocktailing/taphouse culture and carted it north. Most impressive? The lengthy list of caesars. Also, our bartender who let me wet my whistle with a small taste of a locally produced "Winter Vodka." He even cracked the seal on the new bottle for me. That is what I call some northernly hospitality. Give these guys a few weeks to sort out their keg lines and bring in some more brews etc. I think once they're truly up they'll be motoring along like a well-oiled machine. read more

Nice food and atmosphere. People with complaints? Just remember where you are. You are a long way from farms, yet there was an abundance of fresh healthy options. I had the burger and green salad. Pretty awesome for the Yukon. Nice selection of beer cider and cocktails. I wish they had more options from the local Yukon Brewery read more

Cool pub with live music, funky atmosphere and a nice beer selection. They offer small plates, pizzas, sliders, etc. I had an excellent roasted califlower plate, some wings and a cheese plate. I also had a wine flight of reds. Service was attentive and no problem with separate checks for our group. read more

Definitely a Whitehorse foodie must! Had the spicy kale salad & charred Argentinian flank steak. Also ordered the salt & pepper riblets & sweet & spicy wings. Dessert was cheesecake with rhubarb & strawberry compote & they substituted the vanilla bean gelato for the cream. Compote was a tangy refreshment to the cheesecake & ice cream! read more

I really want to like this place more than I do, but they keep giving me reasons to be dissatisfied. I pass through Whitehorse regularly, and there aren't all that many good eating and drinking places. This could be one, but in the 5 or so visits I have made it has been consistently off in one way or another. Maybe 3 stars is overly generous? The pizza is decent to good. The toppings combinations are quite creative ( maybe too creative), but it is definitely not bad. But the last time I was there I chose the one I did mainly because it had kalamatta olives. But it didn't, they were black olives. Maybe to some that is minor, but I would not have ordered it if the menu had said black rather than kalamata. Not enough of a problem for me to say something, but definitely disappointing. And my $10 barley wine was completely flat, hardly any carbonation. Later I heard from someone who knows that they routinely sell undercarbed beer when the CO2 tank runs out, rather than replacing the tank. WTF? Makes me wonder how well they take care of their lines? Upon further reflection, 3 stars is overly generous. And the service is consistently marginal... the place has potential but they need to try harder. read more

I've had a lot of pizza in my life so I didn't expect to find myself saying, "this is the greatest pizza I've ever had", but it's true. We split The Dirty Favorite: salami, mushrooms, Gruyere, roasted jalapeños, truffle oil and topped with fresh arugula. Simply amazing. Place is ultra hip vibe. Not what you expect in Whitehorse. Not sure when I'll make it back in my travels, but I can't wait to have it again. read more

Yea. It's pretty spit polished. Usually a decent draught selection but not the most interesting. Food is decent jalapeno poppers and stuffed prunes are my favourites. To my mind, the pizza is the best in town. Bit of a breastraunt though. read more

Arctic char was fantastic, buttery sweet with crusty capers, perfect broccoli and a huge fresh salad. Sweet vibe with electro music, sports Tv and a lively bar. 5$ sangrias on special were great. Love the name too. Great vibe all around and the best meal we have had in Whitehorse, even though they are not listed as a restaurant. Comfy seats too. Really great meal and drinks. Highly recommended. Also service was prompt, friendly and very helpful and sweet! read more

Yummy food. Friendly, attentive and efficient service. Kitchen closed at 10pm. Good atmosphere.

While visiting Whitehorse, we stopped at this cool place for a quick dinner. The menu is small-some apps, a couple of salads and Thin crust pizza. The Sunday drunk special were $5 Caesars so I indulged in the Pickled Ceasar-delightful start! We quickly settled on Caesar salad and 4 pizzas between 6 people. It came hot and fresh. The crust was thin but able to hold up to the toppings. And the toppings were a treat. Combos like arugula, prosciutto, and truffle oil, another with salami and mushrooms. Our group quickly gobbled up the delicious pies and salads and left happy and full! read more

Dirty Northern is not some sort of twisted sex position. Or is it? This place is pretty much one of the only places I come for a few pints when I'm in town but unfortunately it's really hit or miss. On the hits you can come in to friendly service and great tasting pizza but on the misses you will sit there in a packed room with an empty glass. During the week it seems to be a little better than coming on a Friday night. The interior is comfortable and cozy, beer selection is decent and the pizza is pretty good (again for Whitehorse standards). read more

This little pub was a surprise favourite on my trip. It's in the popular hipster style (to be frank), you know, lots of effort put into the decor, $12 for one cocktail, $5 for one taco, that sort of thing, but the major redeeming qualities were the food that is very delicious, and waitresses who are professional, genuinely attentive, and courteous, which is contrary to the kind of hipster service one usually gets in places similar to this in big cities. Maybe it's just that people in Whitehorse are so nice, I don't know. I can't imagine anyone who likes pubs and high quality pub fare being disappointed by a visit to the Dirty Northern. read more

I had high hopes for the Dirty Northern, but things just didn't pan out (pardon the pun...). The decor/atmosphere was nice, and that was about it. The server we had was completely clueless. She didn't mention that it was half off for pizzas (and it wasn't noted on the menu), she brought out the wrong dish for me (I ordered the bunny curry appetizer and she brought out a salad and insisted that I was wrong...then she finally checked with the kitchen and brought out the curry)...I could go on about the bad service, but I'll give it a rest. Onto the food, which is arguably more important. The curry was served in a bread bowl and had nice presentation, but it turned out to be somehow super bland, yet over salted. There were no "curry" flavours, it was just a weird over salted orange mush, which really didn't pair well with the bland bread if you ask me. As a main I had the kale salad, which was also bland yet over salted, and rather off-putting (I promise I have actual tastebuds, this place just doesn't know how to season). Their issue is clearly that they rely solely on salt (and this is big coming from a salt-addict like me) and they don't effectively use of other herbs and spices. The creamy salad dressing was awful - it was missing some acidity and the bit of apple in the salad wasn't cutting it. There are plenty of other nice pubs in Whitehorse, so I don't expect to be back at the Dirty Northern. read more

Great place! Go for 1/2 price artisan pizza on Monday night. Be prepared for a wait but the food and drinks are good so it's worth it. They have some other interesting things on the menu that we didn't get a chance to try. Next time we will! read more

I like The Dirty Northern. It has an inviting atmosphere and comfy booths. Go earlier so you can enjoy a booth. This pub is popular and can get busy. They often have small live band playing here. I thought on a Wednesday it would be quiet to hang with two friends, however I was quite surprised the place was hopping! I had the pickled cesar and it was delish. I shared some bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed jalapenos and they were so awesome we should have ordered more! When we first arrived our server was attentive to our needs however as it became busy, she kept forgetting about us and we waited about 15 min to get the bill after she noticed us and then about 20 min more before she collected our money. Awesome atmosphere and service depends on how busy it is. read more
